Our houses are generally over 8 stars, the optimum for energy efficiency and economy. We design passive houses and enjoy implementing designs which need no heating or cooling.
We use an energy rating tool to forecast the home’s heating requirements and increase the performance. Our 3D modelling software allows clients to explore our buildings before the finished product. We can also model sun penetration any time of day and year, views from particular windows etc.
Our projects enhance the site conditions and values and are also an expression of their owner’s desires and ambitions.
We listen to our clients. And we love our work.
